Well the clock Mech was unrepairable so had to fit a brand new one. I managed to get a set of fingers identical to the originals so im pretty much happy.
So here she is an original Metamec clock. Ive just made a dozen new wooden Finials out of a 40 year old piece of Teak which will look identical to the originals & to match the Teak furniture i have. The original finials were shitty Beech wood spray stained which is unacceptable in my book. Anyhow these just need drilling, finishing & fitting, i can get it on the wall then..
Proper clock

Nice job mate, looks like new.
“Music has always been a matter of energy to me, a question of fuel. Sentimental people call it inspiration, but what they really mean is fuel. I have always needed fuel. I am a serious consumer. On some nights I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run about fifty more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio”
